The average person finds a job or career they can tolerate and sticks with it for years while dreaming of retirement. In recent years people have held multiple jobs with different companies and even changed occupations, but the mindset of the masses hasn’t changed.

The majority of people drag themselves to a job they don’t like while simultaneously worrying about getting fired. They don’t do this because they’re stupid. They do it because they need the money and they’ve been trained in school and conditioned by society to live in a linear thinking world that equates earning money with physical or mental effort. The rich have retrained themselves to operate in a non-linear consciousness where anything is possible. The greatest example of this non-linear concept is the idea that passion is the real secret of getting rich. It’s a cause and effect relationship between effort and passion, but while the masses see passion as the effect, the great ones see it as the cause.

In other words, the average person goes to work every day and hopes to find passion in his or her efforts. The rich go to work every day feeling passion for what they do, and their passion fuels their efforts. This is not a semantic argument; it’s a personal philosophy and strategy that serves as the foundation for every great fortune ever earned. There’s been an attempt to bring this mindset to the masses by espousing the world-class philosophy of ‘do what you love and the money will follow.’ There was even a book written by that exact title. The sad truth is only a small percentage of the population will ever adopt this philosophy. Years of fear and scarcity-based programming and daily reinforcement of a lack and limitation mentality will prevent most people from ever entering the world of the wealthy.

While that fact is tough to dispute, it has nothing to do with you and me. We know the truth. We know we were sold a bill of goods in childhood by well meaning adults who could only give us the best they had. You and I know it’s not enough, and the good news is all of our middle class beliefs can be upgraded or eliminated. We are in complete control, and that makes our futures limitless. The first world-class belief about wealth you must adopt is that it’s possible to do what you love and get rich doing it. Once this belief is established, anything is possible because you’re now cognitively cohabiting with the wealthy in a state of consciousness the masses don’t even know exists.
